Artch - Apologia lyrics

Alone in the darkness, I hide from the light. The dark is my fortress. So cold... the night. I've kept the tradition my fathers held-high. The past is my prison. 'till the day I die. So indicated, and yet - so obscure. Is everything fated ? How can I be sure ? Fear's been my kingdom and hate's been my course. I followed a blind-path; Blood-stained, with no remorse I see shadows! Are they... faces of the past ? I hear voices ! Are they... calling from the past ? Alone with conscience, I ask myself; Why...? But answers are hard to find. I can't break-away from my pride. I only did, what I was taught to be right, as my father would have done. Let "History" be my judge, when I'm long-dead, and gone. I see shadows! Are they... faces of the past ? I hear voices ! Are they... calling from the past ? Father! It's turned so cold. I see shadows! Are they... faces of the past ? I hear voices ! Are they... calling from the past ?
